Grand Traverse Heritage Center


After a great series of shows in Illinois, we headed into Michigan and made the scenic drive up to Traverse City. Our next event was sponsored by the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home. The location for the event was at the Grand Traverse Heritage Center. They have a museum with many excellent exhibits about the area's natural history, Native Americans, local industries. They also have an impressive collection of military artifacts.


We were part of a special reception the first evening for guests invited by the Museum and Reynolds Jonkhoff. They enjoyed the premier of an exhibit on Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. Michigan has a rich Civil War connection, as some of the largest Union Regiments hail from there. We enjoyed another 3 days there sharing with the community of Traverse City.
